Pet parents have been buying food for their pets online for years now, especially since the pandemic began. Whether you’re looking for a new, trendy toy for your dog, a new collar, a cat carrier or the cheapest pet food delivery option, these online pet stores can give you the selections you need.
Retailers are making it as simple as they can for us, offering an Autoship feature that allows you to sign up for recurring shipments of the same supplies each month, while services like Shipt and Instacart will deliver pet supplies along with your grocery order.
So if you’re wondering where to buy pet food online, we’ve rounded up some popular pet retailers. And as we are living in a day of supply chain issues, keep the following in mind: Don’t buy in bulk as this causes inventory to run out. But do place your orders before you need them so your pet won’t run out of their brand of food. This is where the Autoship will come in handy.
Here are a few of our favorite pet retailers who ship pet supplies directly to your door:
